Smart machines - THe Future Is Here

Description

Self-driving cars, drones, household robots, smart devices etc.. A perfect storm is emerging. But what will the next hype be called? Smart Machines is a strong contestant for the next hype. In 2004 it was Social Media, in 2007 Cloud Computing was coined and in 2011 everybody started talking and writing about Big Data. Four years have passed and year 2015 calls for the next hype building on top of existing ones. Enter Smart Machines.

New technologies are enablers ● The idea of Smart Machines is not new, but now the time is right → perfect storm www.smartmachines.fi

Innovations are the key ● Most important innovations will be combinatory innovations* ● Creative destruction will face those not willing or able to take action www.smartmachines.fi * The Second Machine Age, Brynjolfsson & McAfee

The Role of Cloud Computing ● Cloud Computing is an enabler of Smart Machines “Imagine a robot that finds an object that it's never seen or used before—say, a plastic cup. The robot could simply send an image of the cup to the cloud and receive back the object’s name, a 3-D model, and instructions on how to use it” J. Kuffner, Google www.smartmachines.fi IEEE: Jan 2011, http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-software/cloud-robotics

Advanced Analytics provides wisdom to Smart Machines

The Role of Big Data ● Analytical capabilities provided by cloud services are evolving fast “Dremel can scan 35 billion rows without an index in tens of seconds. Dremel, the cloud-powered massively parallel query service, shares Google’s infrastructure, so it can parallelize each query and run it on tens of thousands of servers simultaneously. You can see the economies of scale inherent in Dremel. An Inside Look at Google BigQuery www.smartmachines.fi https://cloud.google.com/files/BigQueryTechnicalWP.pdf

Robotics makes digitalization visible in production, services, transportation and all other areas of life

Sales of Industrial Robots Record high sales of industrial robots in 2013 Worldrobotics.org: http://www.worldrobotics.org/uploads/tx_zeifr/June_04__2014_PI_IFR_World_Robot_Market.pdf www.smartmachines.fi

Drones - soon flying everywhere No piloting skills required The eBee takes off, flies and lands autonomously. The artificial intelligence incorporated in the senseFly autopilot continuously analyzes data from the Inertial Measurement Unit and the onboard GPS and takes care of all aspects of the flight mission. https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html www.smartmachines.fi

Consumer robotics Jibo kickstarter project, shipping 2015 What is Jibo? It’s a little pod with a motorized swivel, equipped with cameras, microphones and a display. It recognizes faces and voices, and can act as a personal assistant by setting reminders, delivering messages and offering to take group photos. It also serves as a telepresence robot for video chat.

Internet of Things There are 50 to 500 billion connected devices in 2020 IDC, General Electric

Intel Edison ● Remember Raspberry Pi? ● Intel Edison takes tiny computers to the next level ● It can be the brains of almost any device (width is only 35 mm) The Intel® Edison development platform is the first in a series of low-cost, product-ready, general purpose compute platforms that help lower the barriers to entry for entrepreneurs in the Internet of Things (IoT).

Spark ● Spark is a Wi-Fi development kit for connecting devices aka “things” to internet The Spark Core is our tiny Wi-Fi development kit that helps you build a connected product in hours, not weeks. The Spark Core is hooked to the Cloud out of the box, and the entire design is open source. Spark: https://www.spark.io/ www.smartmachines.fi

The Future of Employment “According to our estimate, 47 percent of total US employment is in the high risk category, meaning that associated occupations are potentially automatable over some unspecified number of years, perhaps a decade or two“ The future of employment: how suspectible are jobs to computerisation?
